Z-Attaché The Attaché

If you're someone who's always dropping things, The Attaché may be your bag. A large but lightweight case, it comes in three sizes to accommodate nearly every size notebook out there (and even 11- by 17-inch portfolios). According to the company, you can drop-kick your laptop and it will survive unscathed, thanks to the protective material this case is made of. (Z-Attaché doesn't recommend trying this test, though.) The simple and unusual-looking bag has a metal handle so you can carry it like a briefcase, as well as color-coordinated seatbelt-like shoulder straps. It comes in a multitude of colors, textures, and patterns, and can be customized to your specificationsyou can even put a logo on it. Although the base model has no separate compartments for your small gear, the company will add pockets upon request; the bag still has less storage space, however, than the other cases in this roundup. The medium size, which we tried, holds up to a 16-inch laptop. 15.5 by 14.0 by 3.0 inches (HWD).
